Re: ITP: nspeed -- Prints the currently incoming and outgoing traffic in kb/s of a NIC on the console, no more, no less

2006-12-23 Thread André Appel

You are right.
Currently it measures the network traffic over the period of 1 (one)
second.  See the TODO.Debian to learn that I plan to make it adjustable
and more configurable ...

Thanks, it's integrated into my package now.

Hi Joey, hi developers,

although my nspeed is a pure shell script, it was not hard to implement
the feature into "ifdata" of the moreutils package.

Under http://nforcer.de/debian/ifdata-patch/ you find the new ifdata.c and
the ifdata.diff to see what I've changed.
Make sure you have some traffic and run ifdata -bips NIC (bips=bytes
incoming per second) or ifdata -bops NIC (bops=bytes outgoing per second).

Have fun and mention me :)

Regards,
André.

What does "current" mean? How long does taking a "sample" take? Can
you adjust it? Maybe this is not as important for the description, but
should be mentioned in the package :)

Indeedly. I find it very much similar in feel, simplicity and general
applicability.

That seems like it would be a nice addition to ifdata in the moreutils
package.
